You can also still go for a Custom motion setting, as usual with LG TVs, with blur and judder reduction levels set to suit your tastes. This increases the ratio of real to interpolated image frames as it goes about its ‘frame merging’ business, resulting in reduced judder without the so-called ‘soap opera effect’ of too much fluidity. That said, serious home cinema fans will likely be more drawn to a new Cinematic Movement option. This has apparently been developed in response to consumer demand, confirming my suspicion that many consumers, even of high-end TVs, don’t necessarily agree with film industry luminaries that all motion processing is the work of the devil. Most of the OLED65G1’s picture presets also default to a new Natural motion processing setting that reduces judder substantially. LG has also thankfully greatly improved the ability of its motion processing algorithms to distinguish between moving and static image elements in dark scenes - so K’s spinner should no longer glitch in and out of the picture as he flies behind tower blocks on his way back to LAPD HQ near the start of Blade Runner 2049.
LG AI BRIGHTNESS CONTROL PRO
The AI Picture Pro system is joined by a couple of other automatic picture options that can add further refinements to the AI-based system: Auto Genre selection, which utilizes a deep learning neural network algorithm ‘trained’ to spot the difference between animations, movies, news and sports, and an AI Brightness Control system that optimizes brightness with SDR and tone mapping with HDR to compensate for room light conditions. And as we’ll see, the OLED65G1 implements them outstandingly well. It’s not just having such features that counts, though it’s how well your processing and AI implements them. We’ve come across similar features before - both AI and object-based processing are well established in premium TV circles these days.
LG AI BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SKIN
This is able to pick out and identify different image content such as skin tones, clothing and other highlight elements, and then manipulate local detail levels and brightness to give such ‘focal points’ more clarity, definition and emphasis. And with cityscape shots, the processing can enhance detail and edges to deliver a sharper finish along with a better sense of depth and scale.Ĭontinuing the theme of being able to identify and apply different processing rules to particular parts of the picture is a new Body and Object system. With a night scene, the processing can locally enhance the brightness and clarity of areas of shadow detail in parts of the picture that might otherwise look murky.
